Gemma the Little Doll
Gemma the Little Doll loves winter – big coats, gumboots and she has a hat in every colour. Gemma loves jumping in muddy puddles and spotting the elusive rainbow off in the distance. She was inspired by a classic children’s teddy bear and one day, dreams of visiting London.

Notes:
A yarn with no stretch is best for amigurumi, I ordinarily use cotton or cotton blend.
Amigurumi is usually stitched in the round (unless it says otherwise).
For this pattern, the following yarns were used:
o NUDE = Bendigo Woollen Mills 4ply cotton in “816 Parchment”
o YELLOW = Bendigo Woollen Mills 4ply cotton in “806 Daffodil”
o MUSTARD = Lincraft Cotton 4ply in “mustard”
o BLUE = Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/4 in colour “35 Petrol Blue”
o RED = Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/4 in colour “86 Christmas Red”
I crochet loosely and use a 2.5mm hook with 4ply yarn. Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight to keep stuffing from showing and for any attachments to stay in place.
The yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of the finished item. My Gemma the Little Doll is approximately 22cm tall (8 ½ inches).
I have used safety eyes for this pattern but you may embroider. Please ensure that there are no loose fittings.
